Waxing/sugaring

Is it okay to have a Hollywood wax/sugaring while pregnant? I know you shouldn’t wax or shave befor due date because of infections might cause while giving birth as pores or skin is open but it should be okay up to 3 weeks before due date what you all think? X thanks

I do. I had my regular Hollywood done on Saturday. It might have been slightly more painful than normal. But I really don’t think by much if at all. I had a really good person doing it who knew all the correct positions to put me in when pregnant. I’d been dying for one as it had been about 2 months since I was able to get in.

I’ve not heard about not having one straight before your due date. I was planning on having one 2 weeks prior.

On a baby group it says:it's generally considered safe for pregnant women to get waxed during pregnancy. Thanks to your hormones, your hair is probably growing at a much faster rate now, which means you might find yourself more fixated on hair removal than ever before! So I’m guessing it is it’s if certain salons will do it some may not xx

Does day on this site and google that doctors and hospital tell you not to have one near due date as it’s more risk of infections and more risk for infections if having a c section of an emergency c section xx hope that helps x
